Urgent ! Brent Jessee, Audiotubes, is closing on March 5th. Run buy something !

Hopefully, someone will continue his work even if not exactly at the same level.

This is sad news indeed. I’ve been buying from him for years.  I tried and got screwed by Vivatubes.  I bought three matched pairs of PSVANE Art Series 12AU7’s from them and five out of the six got noisy within days and they wouldn’t replace them.  I bought three matching sets RCA Cleartops from Brent and they’ve been working great ever since.  
 

Here’s to hoping someone takes over and is as honorable as he was.

Brent Jesse has been a fine resource for years, supplied me with tubes for my Cary and Modwright amps.  He has always given me good advice when I asked.

By the way , thanks again to jjss49 for his recent help with my 6SN7’s, I feel lucky to be in same local area as him!

Brent has always been my go-to for tubes for many reasons, but mostly because I always felt he was trying to help me get the sound I wanted as opposed to "selling" me, and he stood solidly behind everything he sold. Congratulations to him for setting the bar high for his business and now reaping the rewards in retirement.

So, where are we going to buy guaranteed NOS tubes ? Tube Depot doesn't have many and their prices are often ridiculous.
